Description

Cucumber 'Tendergreen' (Cucumis sativus), also known as Tendergreen Burpless, is a celebrated open-pollinated heirloom slicer prized for its sweet taste, high yields, and digestion-friendly qualities. Growing on vigorous, heavy-yielding vines 4 to 6 feet long, it produces straight, dark green fruits measuring 7 to 9 inches in length. The smooth, medium-thin skin is free of bitter compounds and tough spines, encasing crisp, pale green flesh with very small seed cavities. Exceptional for fresh garden eating, slicing into salads, cold summer dishes, and quick pickling, Tendergreen remains a reliable favorite for home gardens.
